We have similar trees growing by our ocean here and I find their red bark a beautiful thing of nature and a always drawn to look at them as long as I can when passing by. Life through the eyes of a child…nothing can compare.

They really are magnificent. I love in the quiet moments in me where I can look at the world through the eyes of a child. I quite believe that we see the most important aspects of life and our journey when we can be there. Pure eyes and heart I suppose.

Alisa,
This feels like a wonderful allegorical story that probably resonates with many writers who feel this deep connection with something that seems to have been existing long before us and will exist long after. Wonderful.
